Primitive Pictures VS numi

TIL about https://github.com/fogleman/primitive from https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_raster-to-vect...

Looks great! I've been thinking of having my own attempt at something like this ever since I saw a similar idea at primitive.lol

Looks like it's made with https://github.com/fogleman/primitive

If you're looking for a more artistic arrangement of coloured blocks, and you've got some skills (or a Mac), there is this one application that's fun to play with. But I'm sure there are other ways.

Some examples off the top of my head (not game-dev specific) are https://www.michaelfogleman.com/ (creator of https://primitive.lol/), Marco Arment (https://marco.org/ - Overcast), or Pieter Levels (sadly as I write this I found that his blog seems to have been taken down and just redirects to his twitter https://twitter.com/levelsio?ref=levels.io - but still has a laundry list of projects old and new in his twitter bio)

Any ideas on how I could simply cross-compile a non-module GitHub repository to three different architectures with predictable filenames? I wouldn't mind setting up a go.mod file, the problem is I would like to compile the executable in the github.com/fogleman/primitive repository, not my own code.

Consider an SVG from [Primitive](https://github.com/fogleman/primitive) and a mostly-transparent overlay containing the diff against the original image. Tuning Primitive is not entirely deterministic (like your algorithm) and I think a human interface for the front-end would allow a few knobs to erase parts of the diff in order to shrink the detail imperceptively. Seems like a good opportunity for a contest :)

I think stroke-based painting methods like these are neat: https://github.com/jiupinjia/stylized-neural-painting https://github.com/fogleman/primitive

This looks fantastic. I will definitely give it a spin. I've been tracking what I call "computational scratchpad" apps for a while now but haven't found one that fits my environment/workflow yet. Maybe Heynote will. Here are some others that I've looked at:

* https://soulver.app Granddad of them all, Mac-only, proprietary, expensive

* https://numi.app Mac-only, proprietary, semi-expensive. Has a Github and claims to be MIT-licensed but I don't see how you could build a working application with what's in the repo.

* https://calca.io Windows- and Mac-only, proprietary, not expensive, nice docs.

* https://notepadcalculator.com Web-based, not open source, hosted but uses local storage. You can optionally create an account to sign in and have your notes saved in plaintext on his server.

* https://github.com/bbodi/notecalc3 Web-based, open source, self-hostable. But it seems to save your document in the URL string itself, which means the URL gets updated with almost every keystroke. Worth it for quick calculations and very small notes, I guess.

* https://numpad.io Web-based, hosted, not open source. Also stores entire doc in URL, but doesn't update the URL bar the whole time you're typing.

* https://numbr.dev/ Web-based, hosted. Has a Github but is not open source and the repo does not have all the bits needed to self-host it. Stores entire doc in URL.

* https://github.com/metakirby5/codi.vim Vim/NeoVim plugin that is less like a "smart notepad" and more like Jupyter but with results printed on the right side of the screen instead of in a cell below. Supports lots of programming languages.

Numi is an awesome little calculator app that supports currency conversion.

https://numi.app/ is a great calculator, you can define different values and reuse them multiple times in an easy way

Numi - calculator with a lot of functionality

Get Numi instead

Numi is a free alternative to Soulver.
